First Light 12 Ghz

[Job Geheniau]

Yes finally first light at 12 Ghz, with test Satellite  Astra 3B

Trying Moon driftscan tonight.

But an adapter connector n to f for the LNB was broken.,

Purchased new and installed today. NO SIGNAL AGAIN ????

Fortunately my father had a multimeter from the 70's (I forgot to bring it), but voltmeter is voltmeter...

And guess what, the Bias-T connected to the air spy mini didn't give 13.8 volts.

Probably killed by a short circuit of the broken connector!

Fortunately I still had a sparebias-t with me and had taken it with me.

And fortunately no damage to sdr's

PPFFFFFFF

Everything works now! But before you find out that the biast had died. I was discouraged by no signal.

Glad now.

Very curious if the moon driftscan at 12 Ghz will work tonight.

All remote controlled 50 km away of course....
